The research groups on practices for developing nonviolent education arose from the need to address the needs of teachers from various parts of Italy. They emerged following a process of listening and sharing initiated by the Edumana network, developed in collaboration with the European Knowledge Hub network. They also represent the continuation of the National Schools' Forum for Nonviolent Education, the first of which took place in Milan on November 23, 2024. The next will be held in Verona on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
